Form Education Mechanical System LTD

Form Education Mechanical System LTD, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Wellingborough, United Kingdom, supplies precision mechanical components and fasteners to the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across 47 purchase orders with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes entirely under open competition with no set-aside designation on approximately 95% of awards; roughly 5% carry Total Small Business set-aside classification. The company registered with SAM.gov in July 2024 and has secured 47 federal purchase orders in the subsequent period, all to DLA divisions.

Form Education Mechanical System LTD's capability portfolio centers on Federal Supply Class 8511 mechanical components—stave-shaped bearings, back-up ring preforms, mounting brackets, fasteners including screws, studs, nuts, washers, and specialized assemblies such as tube assemblies, cylinder assemblies, switch subassemblies, and electromagnetic enclosures. Representative work includes a $31,000 firm fixed-price order from DLA Land and Maritime for stave-shaped bearings (awarded November 2025), a $33,975 order for back-up ring preforms (November 2025), a $28,800 order for flush catches (April 2025), and a $26,325 order for stave-shaped bearings (January 2026). All work is performed at the vendor's United Kingdom facility and delivered to DLA Distribution centers.

Customer concentration is extreme and undiversified. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 31 awards worth $345 thousand (89% of combined potential value), while DLA Aviation accounts for 16 awards worth $41 thousand (11%). No other federal agencies appear in the award footprint. The two DLA divisions together represent 100% of awards by count and value.

Activity trajectory shows rapid acquisition velocity in 2025 (41 awards) followed by a sharp drop in 2026 (6 awards through March). The vendor's recent award rate—six awards in the first three months of 2026—represents a significant deceleration from the 2025 pace. Combined potential value across all 47 awards is $386 thousand, with 100% of that amount obligated; all contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders with ultimate completion dates ranging from April 2025 through June 2026. No parent IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs appear in the award structure; these are direct purchase orders issued transactionally by DLA divisions.

The vendor's posture is that of a foreign-based specialty supplier serving DLA's transactional procurement for standardized mechanical components. No U.S. teaming relationships, subcontractors, or domestic performance locations are evident in the footprint. The woman-owned designation and small business status qualify the vendor for set-aside consideration, but DLA has elected to award the majority of Form Education Mechanical System LTD's orders on fully open competitive grounds, suggesting the vendor competes on commercial pricing and availability rather than set-aside protection.
